Grafting on what appears to be a rubberised grid texture toe bumper and woven heel tab, this AF-1 certainly is unique. Furthermore is a perforated, and slightly padded, extended nylon tongue that looks rather nice to touch, contrasting in purple to the white leather upper.

There is no Swoosh to be found on the lateral side, instead a handwritten style ‘n 354’ is seen below an orange taped midfoot seam. The heel tab also takes on an inverted appearance.

An on-foot look at these will help many make up their mind on whether this is one to cop or drop. Keep an eye out here for updates before they release on June 28.
